sub2ind - matrix subscript values to linear index

### Calling Sequence

  `I = sub2ind(dims,i1,i2,...)`
  `J = sub2ind(dims,Mi)`

### Parameters

- `dims`: vector: the matrix dimensions
- `i1,i2,...`: the subscript value arrays(same matrix shape as `I`)
- `Mi`: matrix whose columns contains the subscript values.
- `I`: the linear index array

### Description

`sub2ind` is used to determine the equivalent single index corresponding to a given set of subscript values. `I = sub2ind(dims,i1,i2,..)` returns the linear index equivalent to the row, column, ... subscripts in the arrays `i1`, `i2`,.. for an matrix of size `dims`. In this case `i1`, `i2`,.. must have the same shape and the result `I` has the same matrix shape. `I = sub2ind(dims,Mi)` returns the linear index equivalent to the subscripts in the columns of the matrix `Mi` for a matrix of size `dims`. in this case `I` is a column vector

### Examples

    i=[1 2 1 1 2 1 1];
    j=[1 2 3 1 2 3 3];
    k=[1 2 1 2 1 2 1];
    sub2ind([2,3,2],i,j,k)

    sub2ind([2,3,2],[i',j',k'])
